SeaKlear PRS

Is This Disease-Causing Germ in Your Pool?

Twelve million people carry Cryptosporidium. Did one of them just swim in your pool? Cryptosporidium – Crypto for short – is a disease-causing germ that may well be in your pool. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Crypto outbreaks linked to swimming have doubled since 2014. Just what is it, and how can you make sure your pool is safe?

Crypto – The Dreaded Pool Germ
Cryptosporidium is a parasite that can survive up to 10 days, even in properly treated pools. Crypto causes diarrhea, and otherwise healthy individuals can carry Crypto unaware. Children, even those wearing swim diapers, can spread the parasite.

The primary way of becoming infected is by swallowing contaminated water. Even a mouthful of Crypto-infected water is enough to cause illness with symptoms including diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and vomiting, which can last for weeks.

Even healthy people are susceptible to Crypto, but very young children or those with compromised immune systems can be especially vulnerable. Since even a small amount of contaminated water can cause illness, it is important to thoroughly treat pool water to avoid Crypto contamination.
